Our brief was to refurbish two floors at Portsoken house, reconfiguring them into smaller flexible units suitable for small businesses.
The building itself, completed in 1928, was designed by notable Architect George Val Myer, known for his work on the BBC’s Broadcasting House. Unfortunately, in the years since it’s construction the art deco finishes had been gutted from the building.
The challenge, therefore, was to capture some of this lost character while creating a contemporary workplace that meets the needs of 21st century tenants.
